Causes the compiler to produce verbose status and error messages.

/verbose[+ | -]

Arguments

+ | -

Specifying /verbose is the same as specifying /verbose+, which causes the compiler to emit verbose messages. The default for this option is /verbose-.

Remarks

/verbose displays information about the total number of errors issued by the compiler, reports which assemblies are being loaded by a module, and displays which files are currently being compiled.

Note   The /verbose option is not available from within the Visual Studio development environment; it is available only when compiling from the command line. It cannot be changed programmatically.

Example

The following code compiles in.vb and directs the compiler to display verbose status information:

vbc /verbose in.vb
